Water game

[tcotton13]

Of course it's going to be a water game look at all the factors: On the hint the first part number was 1492, like columbus that has to do with water if you didnt know!!

[R2D2DOC]

That sounds plausible:

(1) 1492, Columbus sailed with his alliance of three ships
(2) 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh sailed to the new world in search of new settlements and other things (gold)
(3) 1606, the Dutch discover Australia
(4) 1732, George Washington was born, revolutionary !! (bit of a reach)
(5) 1738, Daniel Bernoulli published his famous treatise HYDRODYNAMICA, also, the bottle opener is invented (a real reach . . .)

There are also the four digit numbers of 2711 and 9324, which I leave to the next generations(s).

[TofuRama]

I agree that there's a lot of water dealing with those numbers and it would be cool to have a water game. However, we are dealing with FIRST and a water game seems unlikely.

One thing that I have noticed with those numbers is a lot of numbers mentioned by R2D2DOC deal with exploration, discovery, or invention. Of course, 1732 is an odd number as the only thing that I could find was President Washington's birthday. Maybe it deals with a revolution of ideas?

Can I just /facepalm this thread? No, maybe that's a little mean.

You forgot the big 100th anniversary of the Titanic! I agree with TofuRama, though, that there is more evidence of an exploration-themed or rather unnavigable field than of a field with water.

And honestly, who could tolerate a game where the field wouldn't stop leaking? Because this is FIRST, and a lot of professional design work and manufacturing care always gets turned into a duct-tape mess by volunteers and high schoolers.

I enjoy the water game speculation as much as the next guy (or maybe poster), but it's obviously impractical and absurd.

I don't think I'll ever give up on a water game idea...haha

[avanboekel]

Give it up, it will NEVER happen. End of story!

To Admins/Moderaters/Brandon Martus-

Maybe I'm complaining too much, but can we please make a specific subforum purely for water game talk? Sure, the water game talk was humorous when andy baker or dave lavery cracked a joke about it years ago, but now, it's quite frankly annoying, old, and filling Chief Delphi with unnecessary, unhelpful threads. CD is supposed to be about helping people, right?

If anything, could someone please move this thread from CD Forum Support to Chit-Chat?

Just my thoughts/suggestions.

Then let me just help things along --


- water game!!!!

Note that this is being said while I am sitting in a half-full bathtub in one of the salon cabins aboard a friends Oyster 825 sailboat that is currently traversing the Panama Canal. Arrayed around me are 116 one-litre bottles of Evian, all on display beneath a huge portrait-size poster of Niagara Falls. And I am wearing water wings.

116 bottles, you say? I wonder if that number has any significance.

I also noted the drink of choice - you think we are naivE?

Enjoy your vacation. Take the next 242 days off. See you in August.

[Peyton Yeung]

I'm totally joking but this must mean that there will be 116 floating game pieces on a half full field that is shaped like New York (right under Niagara Falls). Robots must fit through a small gap or fly (panama canal and water wings).

Ridiculous enough?

Add in an excuse for robots wearing tiaras and drive teams wearing tights and you're almost there.

FRC116 is the team from Herndon, VA that the Laverly's were/are involved in

You come back with 1 post. ONE POST. And get everyone excited about everything. People are making speculations, every word you say is likely to be a hint of something. We are now putting down our homework to research what you mean by anything you say.

You ARE the robotics god! You have the power everyone wishes they had!

The only problem is, in the event of something bad, you will never be taken seriously.

Eg.

Dave: "I'm choking!"
CD person 1: "Is that a hint?!"
CD person 2: "The word king is in choking! Maybe it's a king of the hill game!"
Dave: "Help!"
CD person 1: "Our goal in the game must be to help people!"
CD person 2: "Let's go create a thread on this and see the crazy unlikely things people come up with!"

The two leave, and just because I like Dave, I'll end the story by saying he stopped choking and walked away.

And that was a lot longer than what I thought it would be. Oh well, too late now !
